How Can A Foreigner Open A Startup in Israel in 2025?

Starting a company in Israel as a foreigner is a straightforward and welcoming process. There are generally no restrictions on foreign ownership – you can own 100% of an Israeli company as an individual or foreign corporation. Israel actively encourages foreign investment and places no general limits on foreign companies or sectors. The typical approach is to incorporate a Private Limited Company (Ltd.) in Israel (equivalent to a C-corp or Ltd. company elsewhere).

Do I Need To Go To Israel to Complete the Gifting Process?

The answer is no. Most non-residents handle it from abroad using our firm. You’ll need to sign documents in front of a notary or at an Israeli consulate and courier them over. With an authenticated power of attorney, your Israeli lawyer can sign the land transfer deed and file all necessary documents on your behalf. Israeli authorities are accustomed to foreign parties in property deals, so as long as the paperwork is notarized correctly and apostilled, physical presence isn’t required.
